Asslar, August 3, 2021. Pfeiffer Vacuum Technology AG, a leading global manufacturer of vacuum solutions, today
announced consolidated results for the first half of 2021. The Company reported a record sales level of EUR 391.2
million, an increase of 29.6% compared to the previous year (H1 2020: EUR 301.9 million). The operating results (EBIT)
reached EUR 48.1 million, an increase of 146.1% (H1 2020: EUR 19.5 million) representing a significantly improved EBIT
margin of 12.3% (H1 2020: 6.5%). The order intake for the first half of 2021 was also at a record level with EUR 451.6
million, a strong increase of 42.6% compared to the previous year (H1 2020: EUR 316.6 million).
Pfeiffer Vacuum's sales increase for the first six months of 2021 reflects strong year-over-year performance in all
market segments with the Semiconductor market remaining particularly dynamic. Sales in the Semiconductor and Emerging
Technologies market segment increased significantly by 40.7% to EUR 206.6 million (H1 2020: EUR 146.9 million). The
sales in the Analytics, Industry and R&D market segment improved by 19.1% to EUR 184.5 million (H1 2020: EUR 155.0
million). Following a new market segmentation introduced at the beginning of 2021, the previous year's figures have
been adjusted for better comparability.
The operating result (EBIT) of EUR 48.1 million represents an increase by 146.1% compared to the previous year (H1
2020: EUR 19.5 million). The EBIT margin reached 12.3% (H1 2020: 6.5%). The year-over-year increase in EBIT was
primarily a result of the increase in sales and related scale economies.
The order intake in the first half of 2021 reached EUR 451.6 million, up 42.6% compared to the first half of 2020. At
the end of the second quarter 2021, Pfeiffer Vacuum had an order backlog of EUR 183.7 million, up 46.5% compared to the
previous year and up 49.0% compared to year-end 2020 (June 30, 2020: EUR 125.4 million, December 31, 2020: EUR 123.3
million).The book-to-bill ratio, the ratio of order intake to sales, was at a robust level of 1.15 in the first half of
2021.
"I am very pleased with our strong half-year results amidst the ongoing pandemic," says Dr. Britta Giesen, CEO of
Pfeiffer Vacuum Technology AG. "Our production and support functions performed very well as we delivered a second
consecutive quarter of record sales while maintaining a stable supply chain. The market demand remains at a high level,
so we will have to continue to effectively manage tension in the supply chain and customer demand fluctuations related
to the timing of projects."
